It had been a long day for Kagura, so when she got home all she wanted to do was sleep. No, why would she get to sleep when she has to put away laundry. She hated when Rouge would go on long missions, leaving her to deal with Sting while being a parent. Kagura walked into the kitchen to get a glass of water and a snack for her son, only to leave Arch-Enemy on the counter, a little too close to the shadows and neither Rouge nor Kagura realized that the three-year-old was developing his father's magic.
Kagura had just finished folding the clothes when she heard cries coming from the kitchen. When she walked in she found Shadow sitting on the floor, Arch-Enemy beside him and his left eye covered in blood. In a panic Kagura called Yukino and told her what happened.
It wasn't until after getting to the emergency room that Kagura let the tears fall. I'm a horrible mother and is he going to be alright were the only thoughts going through her head. When Rogue finally arrived, after being told what happened, Kagura fell into his arms and cried until she couldn't anymore. After all the crying Kagura quickly fell asleep in the arms of her husband.
A few weeks after this happened Rouge found Shadow staring at himself in the bathroom mirror.
"Whatcha doing buddy?" Rouge asked, leaning against the door frame.
"My scar makes me look even more like you daddy." Shadow said, hopping off his stole and walking over to his father.
"Oh, really? I think yours looks cooler."
Kagura walked over telling them breakfast was ready to find the two of them making soap beards.
"Mommy can I go show Dawn my scar?" Shadow asked after finishing his food and getting dressed.
"I guess we can head to the guild earlier than normal."
"See Kagura everything turned out fine." Rouge said, intertwining their fingers.
